Photographer's Note

Veliko Tarnovo often referred to as the "city of the Tsars" and is famous as the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Veliko Tarnovo grew quickly to become the strongest Bulgarian fortification of the middle ages between the 12th and 14th century. The city flourished and grew for 200 years. The political upsurge and spiritual development were discontinued on 17 July 1393. After vigorous resistance to a three-month siege Veliko Tarnovo was sized and whole Bulgarian Empire was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. On 23 April 1876 the April uprising marked the beginning of the end of the Ottoman occupation. It was soon followed by the Russo-Turkish war (1877-1878). On 7 July 1877 Russian general Joseph Vladimirovich Gourko liberated Veliko Tarnovo ending the 480-year-rule of the Ottoman Empire. On 17 April 1879 the First National Assembly convened in Veliko Tarnovo to ratify the state's first constitution, known as the Tarnovo Constitution, the key result of which resulted in the transfer of parliament from Veliko Tarnovo to Sofia, which today remains the Bulgarian capital.

Hello Zbigniew,
This looks like a very picturesque and interesting city and the photo is well composed in three sections with a green and pleasant foreground and a nice sky. Veliko Tarnovo may very possibly be high on the agenda for my next journey this fall. At least I am seriously considering Bulgaria among other places.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Zbigniew,
Veliko Tarnovo is a place where I want to go for a long time and your photo shows me that I am right to want this. Picturesque village, with its red roofed, white houses on the slope of the hill, under the blue sky. Good POV and I like that mixture of houses and nature.
Have a nice day !
